Users in institutions connected to the RENU network can access content from the RENU open source mirror at no charge without impacting their international bandwidth, at speeds of up to 1 Gbps, since the mirror is within the RENU network.

The latency between member institutions connected to the RENU network and the RENU open source mirror is as low as 1 ms (for campuses in Kampala) and as high as 25 ms (for the farthest upcountry campus).
